Performance Review Template is a ready-to-fill, Notion-style document designed for HR teams, managers, and employees preparing for annual or biannual feedback. It guides you through context, goals, self-reflection, manager input, peer feedback, and a concrete development plan.

Manager feedback: structured notes on performance, impact, and development.
360/peer feedback: optional input from teammates.
Performance metrics: a data table to anchor qualitative notes with quantitative signals.
Development plan: concrete steps to grow capabilities.
Action items: post-review tasks and assignments.
